Poll - Sherwood - got rid

[placeforparks]

Looks as if it's just a matter of when rather than if, now.

Yet another huge dollop of compo to spew up. Shame for TS, I think he definitely deserved a crack at it after keeping us up last season, but from his comments about the players not being his preferred signings, he looks to have painted himself into a corner from which it will be very difficult to escape.

Does anybody trust the senior management to get in a decent replacement?

"Tim Sherwood is at his best when he’s backed into a corner."
- Tim Sherwood, Weapons-grade bellend, 19 September 2015

[Chico Hamilton III]

We've lost our last 5 league games and we're now in a lower league position than when he took over 8 months ago.

[robbo1874]

Yep, as I said, looks like when not if, now.

Ultimately it doesn't matter whether we trust them or not, they're the ones making the decision. It's clear that Sherwood isn't the right man, so hopefully the new people with footballing knowledge, who are in place, will help find a more suitable manager.

In all honesty , Mcleish would have been hanging from the Holte end by now.

Lerner is clueless. That's where this shit lies.

Some pretty uninspiring names on the list of potential new managers on that sackrace site, but Aitor Karanka seems to be doing a decent job at 'Boro and maybe worth a punt if we could prise him away

Add to our great file of untried and untested managers.

Who do you think, then? Moyes has said he's staying at Real; don't think Rodgers would see us as big enough for him or risk a relegation on his CV (and FWIW I don't think he'd be any good for us anyway). So that leaves the likes of Pearson and Dyche. Karanka was assistant to Mourinho at Real Madrid and has got a 52%+ win rate at 'Boro. He also spent his playing career as a central defender for Bilbao and Real Madrid, so should be able to organise a defence. Think he's at least worth adding to the mix

[itbrvilla]

I don't trust the board to appoint a manager. Llok at the amateurish approach to the previous ones.

[saunders_heroes]

We need to act now and sack him. What's the point in giving him till the Swansea game, even if we win it'll be just another false dawn. The man is totally out of his depth.

[Villa in Denmark]

Nothing pertinent to add, but I have to say

"Tim Sherwood, Weapons-grade bellend" from placeforparks is one of the better insults I've seen to describe him, and there have been plenty of good ones lately.

[LeeB]

We'll wait for Moyes to get sacked to avoid any compo.

I'm largely in agreement but my concern is who would take charge against Swansea? If a replacement is not installed immediately, I can't see whoever is put in temporary charge of the first team doing much better.

[Monty]

The way he seems to be going out of his way to piss off the players, it may well be that his absence helps as much as the presence of anyone else.

I don't, another manager with no experience in a top division, what's the point? Rolling two dice and hoping they come up a pair of 6's. There's a world full of managers out there. We have money. We have a spotlight for them. Thinking there's only claptrap like Dyche, Pearson et all because theyre English and out of work is the kind of attitude that has progressively got us in to this position. His playing achievements also have no bearing on him as a manager, there's so much proof of that out there I wouldn't know where to start listing them. Fox is paid a princely sum and if all he can come up with is Sherwood, with 6 months experience and out of work and someone of his ilk then he might as well fuck off too because it just isn't good enough. It's also not unrealistic to think anyone who isn't a complete rookie or a lower league manager would come, other clubs do it, they pull of coups or decent appointments, the more we think like a tiny, shit pot club, the more we become a tiny sit pot club.

So on the one hand you don't want another manager with no experience in a top division, and on the other it's not unrealistic to think that a lower league manager would come? Any names in mind? Genuine question, not having a pop
